Wimpy Kid Wednesdays: Do It Yourself

by Jeff Kinney / June 1, 2011

kay, so you might be thinking “Why would he review a fill-in book?” Because the 2011 re-release has 26 pages of comics. The comics are written by Rowley, Greg, Fregley, and we also get to see continuations to other comics from the first book in the series.

The book itself is very fun, but my only issue is that there should be more activities, to keep you occupied for longer, like with Big Nate. And definetly more comics, like Dumb Teachers. Anyways, the comics are pretty funny, and give you a sense of humor of the students at Greg’s school. I will say Fregley has a funny style.

 But the highlight of the book is the prototype of Rowley’s diary (which would then turn into it’s own book in 2019). It shows how bad of a friend Greg is and how innocent and gullible Rowley is. It’s just not some comics for fun, it gives us more depth on the characters.

Enough said, these are funny comics, but sometimes bad (like Girls Rule and Skaters).
